A i:osinnr Speech.
A political campaign speech this year
is more or less dull because of the statis
tical portions necessary to carry convic
tion on the basis of education.- An
nouncement had been made that there
was to be an address last night by Hon.
Binger Hermann, at the Court house,
but the state central committee made
other arrangements and sent to The
Dalles Hon. Geo. C. Brownell, late chair
man of the Kansas State Republican
committee, but now a resident of Oregon
City. Mr. Brownell is a young man, we
may say a rising young man. That he
s thoroughly posted upon national
topice was proven clearly by his address
last night. He handled every phase of
the subject in an intelligent
manner, and held his audience an
hour and a half, closing with several
well rounded points, and palpable hits
which were frequently enthusiastically
cheered, and had the very desirable and
convincing effect of establishing confi
dence that there is yet too much grati
tude left in the hearts of the American
people to even think that they would go
back upon the great republican party
and forsake its principles for the often
denied democracv.
The Right Idea.
Seattle Telegraph. The New York
Post says that the Canadian government
has already expended lf5S,000,OCl) upon
its canals. These do not meet the re
quirements of the trade of the Great
Lakes, and a company has bean incor
porated to build a uliip railway from
Lake Ontario to Lake Huron, a distance
of 66 miles across the province of On
tario, which will cost lfl5,000,C30. The
railway will b3 sufficient to transport
vessels of 2.0C0 tons displacement. The
promoters of the ent3rprise say that
there is not the least doubt that the
money will be forthcoming for the work,
and their agent is now in London to con
sult English capitalists on the subject.
This is more than five times as much as
it would cost to build the Lake Wash
ington canal, to accomodate the com
merce of the Pacific ocean, and yet there
are those, not many indeed, but some,
who think that we ought to stand still
and wait for congress to dole out a few
hundred thousand dollars a year for the
next decade, the way to build the canal
is to build it. The way to take it out of
politics forever is for gome of our ener
getic citizens to take hold of it as a busi
ness enterprise. " Every day this-idea
is gaiuing ground and we look forward
with confidence to the early inaugura
tion of a plan by which Seattle will dig
the canal and dig it in 1S93.

TKICKS ON THE TRADE.
A Shrewd Stranger Swindles . Several
Spokane Merchant.
From the Review.
An unknown man, well dressed and of
gentlemanly bearing, lias been playing a
rather shrewd game among the business
men of the city during the past week,
endeavoring to secure from them sums
ranging from $10 to $25 on a scheme
which has been worn out by the sharp-e-s
of the larger cities of the east.
The stranger arrived here last week,
but where he boarded during his stay
here is not known, for though he seemed
to be thoroughly familiar with the city
he had no . intimate acquaintances nor
did he wish to form any. He did his
work quietly and it - was not until he
left the city that the chief of police
learned that he had bean here. During
his stay, however, he is said to have
caught a number of merchants for small
amounts, and as many of his victims
would rather lose the money than have
it known that they had been victimized,
they did not notify the authorities until
it was too late to catch the alleged
sharper.
The man's game was an ancient one,
and some of those approached by him
had had experience with similar
schemes, and of course gave him not
only a cold refusal, but in one instance
fired him bodily from their office. The
stranger's mode of operation was very
simple and when backed by his remark
able nerve and easy flow of language
was almost always successful when tried
on the uninitiated. J
He invariably carried a large, handsomely-bound
bcok, and entering a bus
iness house he would request an audi
ence with the proprietor. This, of
course, ho easily secured. Opening the
book, he would display to the head of
the firm a large advertisement of that
business house, placed prominently in
the middle of a page. His invariable
remark as he showed the advertisement
was, "How does that please you?"
The surprised merchant would, of
course, ask by whose authority the ad
vertisement had been inserted. It was
then the stranger's play to pretend to be
eurpiised, and he usually played his
part well. He would explain that the
"ad" had been ordered by some member
of the firm and that he held a bill
against the firm for $10, $15 or $25 ac
cording to the size of th "ad." Then
wouldfollow an explanation of the mer
its of the book, which was said to be a
directory of only the reliable firms of
the community and which would be gen
erally circulated throughout the state.
In mostjrtfBee the result wocld be that
the merchant would forget that he had
not ordered the advertisement and
would pay the bill, in consideration of
being classed among t he leading firms of
the city and state.
This little scheme did not work with
all the merchants, however, and the
sU-anger met with a rather warm recep
tion at some of the places which he vis
ited. The Galland-Burke Brewing com
pany were among those who were up
with the times and. refused to pay for
what they had notordered. F. E. Good
all, cashier of the Washington National
bank, was another who was too shiewd
for the sharper, and Alonzo M. Mur
phey was another who refused to have
anything to do with the scheme. The
query, '-Have you seen the directory
man?" was frequently heard among the
business men, and those who had been
victimized invariably jendeavored to
keep their experiences a secret. A sim
ilar game was worked in Portland sev
eral months ago and the merchants there
who paid for the advertisements have
been waiting ever since for the book to
appear, but the stranger has diappeared
and they will probably continue to wait.

THE BEEF TRUST.
Just as Much for a Steak But Less Than
Half as Much for the vattle.
From the Portland Chronicle.
The advent of the American Dressed
Beef Co., followed, as it was, by the or
ganization here of the Portland Butcher
ing Co., has had the good effect of sup
plying our market with the choicest
meats to be procured anywhere in the
world. But they have had a deterrent
effect upon the local cattle-raising indus
try by which so many of the farmers of
western Oregon and Washington were
enabled to make considerable money. . It
used to be that a farmer could keep a
small band of cattle, or a few dozen
sheep and hogs, and if crops were light
from any cause there was something to
rely upon for read ynoney, because there
was always a ready market in the city
among the butchers and packers for all
that could be raised within a radius of a
hundred miles or so, and prices were so
good that the farmer was; encouraged to
continue in the business as far as his
range means of raising hay and other
feed would allow. It is all different now.
The great meat companies import their
live meats from the plains, receiving
them here in car loads and train loads.
The meat markets are all under neces
sity to patronize them, as they cannot
successfully compete by purchasing and
slaughtering their own meats, so that
the home producer of now has no market
for an extra steer or a few hogs or sheep,
as he formerly had. If he offers to sell
to the companies they will pay no more
than they can get the same animals for
at a distance, which is about one-half the
price that live stock brought here two
years ago. Several farmers living twenty
or thirty miles away have lately told a
Chronicle reporter that they would
have to reduce their droves of stock to
their own necessities., as it did not pay
them to raise a fine, fat steer to sell for
about twenty dollars, which is about all
they can get now. There is no decrease
in the retail price of meats, for the con
sumer pays just as much now as ever.
Altogether it is doubtful if the great
butchering companies have helped the
country very much. Monopolies seldom
do. ' . . .
Rate Shaving? Discussed.
A San Francisco dispatch, noting the
arrival there of President S. H. H.
Clark of the Union Pacific says : Mr.
Clark gives out that the object of his
visit is the usual "inspection of the
line," but it is rumored rate shaving
brings him here. For ort-r six months
rate cutting on overland business has
been prevalent among local agent3 and
there are few offices where round trip
tickets to Chicago can not be had for
$100. It is understood the Southern
Pacifia deEirea to arrange for a $100 rate
which can be sold openly by all, and
that this is one lhing to be discussed
with Clark. President Huntington and
Vice President Towne of the Southern
Pacific called on President. Clark, but
the nature of the conference was not
disclosed.
A Cure for - Chulvra.
There is no use of any one suffering
with the cholera when Chamberlain's

can be procured. It will give relief in a
few minutes and cure in a short time.
I have tried it and know. W. H. Clin
ton, Helraetta, N. J. The'epidemic at
Helmetta was at - first believed to be
cholera, but subsequent investigation
proved it to be a violent form of dysen

This remedy was used there with great
success. For sale by Blakeley & Hough
